  • Not sure what mention if any I'll get of my actions on #Mastodon but I got asked a few times why I didn't talk about certain subjects on #Twitter (check my bio). Long story short (overall) I primarily use social media for tech (learning, discovering, sharing), funny stuff, and some up-building conversation. I avoid certain…

  • HAPPY ZOMBIE WEEK FOR THOSE WHO CELEBRATE. The week where EVEN IF people/clients were at work they wouldn't be REALLY working. For me especially when I was 100% freelancing this is the time I would "do/play/work on whatever you want" to get recharged for the new year. So I'm already building out my social homebase.…

  • I like to always follow at least a few people outside my tech circles (so non-Mac users, non-PHP, non #WordPress, etc.). Avoid the crazy fan people but get enough tech insight from outside my bubble. #Mastodon so far is filling that need well.

  • Interesting: Mammoth (#Mastodon client) is going to run their own server to make sign-up less confusing. "We are integrating an easy use Create An Account feature that is connected to https://moth.social/" Was beginning to wonder if this was going to happen, and if it will be a trend (like managed #WordPress hosting companies making on…

  • One of the better things on #Mastodon vs #Twitter (so far) is here there's almost a complete lack of 🧵 posts that would go on and on.

  • A "#Mastodon Handy Links Page" from @oliphant – docs, utilities, directories, videos, etc. https://writer.oliphant.social/oliphant/mastodon-handy-links-page

  • Interesting. @washingtonpost now has #Mastodon linsk for authors in addition to email, linkedin, and #RSS. washingtonpost.com/people/drew-ha…

  • I share non-pop opinions about #Mastodon and others' as well if there's a point and not to shame. The "different servers" thing? On bottom of my Mastonicpicks (ha) but maybe because i haven't run into "draconic rules" yet. "Ideal solution would be to distribute all these users between many small and generic instances w/ no…

  • Using #Mastodon to power blog comments (via @gmph) https://grahammacphee.com/writing/mastodon-blog-comments #fediverse #opensource

  • Reading about @PixelFed – basically #Mastodon for photos (maybe a Flickr or Instagram type of thing). #opensource pixelfed.org

  • @kraft time to maybe restart that too. Or do a barcamp style event based on #Mastodon and #openweb.

  • Even w/ #Mastodon UI limitations and quirks, I acknowledge that (for me) the past 2 months has felt like the early days of #Twitter (pre-2011?): 👉🏻 People figuring out "how to use it"👉🏻 One-person teams, hobbyists playing w/ APIs and quick building tools and apps.👉🏻 Positively talking about the network ON the network.👉🏻 New memes…

  • @justinf I think i want to limit #Mastodon for more tech related discussions and discoveries (part of the reason why i picked phpc as my instance). Twitter, loosy goosey, or eventually just a way to keep in touch and broadcast from my site.

  • Toot! – a #Mastodon client – is currently #1 in Apple's App Store for social networking apps (paid). Over on free, the official Mastodon client is #9. https://www.mobileaction.co/top-apps/social-networking-6005/ios/us

  • SURPRISE. #Twitter deletes TwitterSafety's thread and policy on their help page detailing its new policy to prevent accounts from promoting other social media platforms, including #Mastodon. 🙄 What this means for us here: should be able to still use tools to find folks who come over from the #TwitterMigration. Especially since there appear to be…

  • Nice, bookmarking for later. "Examples of different ways to embed #Mastodon timelines (and toots) in HTML" via @andypiper Github: https://github.com/andypiper/mastodon-embeds-examples Also: https://dev.to/andypiper/a-opportunity-for-developers-1ee4

  • All the #Mastodon activity in the past few hours has me starting a workout on my Apple Watch.

  • FediAct is a Chrome / Firefox browser extension that lets you follow accounts on foreign #Mastodon instances, All data is processed locally, This works, i've tried this in Firefox. 👍🏻 https://github.com/Lartsch/FediAct

  • #Twitter policy doesn't just effect what content is in the tweets you post but anything your profile – including #Mastodon usernames. Services attempting to find people who came from Twitter will basically now be worthless (unless i'm missing something). I am currently primarily using https://movetodon.org/

  • Me and @davew were just talking about journalism networks. Betting if there was ever going to be a mass adoption outside of #mastodon this might factor into this policy at some point too (or pick your field).

  • #Twitter just now released a "Promotion of alternative social platforms policy" that includes #Mastodon. "We will no longer allow free promotion of certain social media platforms on Twitter… we will remove accounts created solely for the purpose of promoting other social platforms and content that contains links or usernames for the following platforms: #Facebook, #Instagram,…

  • Verifying your #GitHub profile on #Mastodon (via @simon) https://til.simonwillison.net/mastodon/verifying-github-on-mastodon

  • Some might be resistant to follow a lot on #Mastodon but (just speaking for myself) (1) so many new ones joining & following me, i don't see any posts to determine a good enough match (2) it's not easy to see those WITH posts – in my web UI – without going over to their…

  • Glad to be here for what is apparently #Mastodon's first fediverse wide viral meme.#johnmastodon

  • Publishing an #RSS feed to #Mastodon https://www.jessesquires.com/blog/2022/12/15/rss-to-mastodon/ Also TIL about https://www.mastofeed.org/

  • Hey #Mastodon – we did it. We are finally trending on Twitter.

  • Ok, where is Twitter's account on #Mastodon. Time to return fire and suspend it. ….say what now?

  • I hope Twitter's suspension of #Mastodon account creates a Barbra Streisand effect.

  • Highlighting Image Accessibility on #Mastodon (via @Meyerweb). Has a nice new user stylesheet. https://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2022/12/14/highlighting-image-accessibility-on-mastodon/

  • Here are some nice things that make sharing content and following people on #Mastodon easier (via @assaf) https://labnotes.org/mastodon-goodies/
